Re: President Barack Hussein Obama

It was so great to see everyone out last night- election parties etc.... In nearly every neighborhood throughout the city there were people gathered in the streets. Such positive energy from soooo many people. Never had an experience like it. I wish we had more days like yesterday/today. It was a night I won't soon forget.

I hope that he's getting some rest right now. Got a lot of work to do come January.

[COLOR=black][FONT=Helvetica][COLOR=silver]I was near downtown Atlanta yesterday at a client site and needless to say I was the only white guy there. The people there were going nuts like one would if their team won the super bowl. The guy I was working with and most of the people there voted for Obama because of race. They were being honest or didn’t notice me listening to their conversations. [/COLOR][/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=black][FONT=Helvetica][COLOR=silver] [/COLOR][/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=black][FONT=Helvetica][COLOR=silver]Needless to say, I just had to ask the guy about Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton, the same question you asked. Believe it or not, he hates them. He cant stand how they make things worse for black people by constantly separating them from other races. That was great to hear. He then said, now there will be no more excuses for someone to be successful no matter who or what race they are. Even though I am against Obama, one good thing, it will hopefully get rid of affirmative action. [/COLOR][/FONT][/COLOR]

The real Obama came out during his speech and finally said some truth. "It may not happen in 1 year or 1 term."

Finally Truth!!!

Congrats USA!!! A really historic turning point in its presidential history...

In this part of the world, the M. East, we truly hope to see things move towards peace and stability, especially in Palestine & Iraq.

God Bless the "new" America!
